NOURISH CAFE AND MARKET

What NOURISH CAFE AND MARKET does

Nourish Cafe & Market is a single-location, health-focused restaurant operating at 1201 E Broadway, Ste B in downtown Columbia, Missouri. Founded in 2016 by Kalle LeMone and Chef Kimber Dean, the company serves an organic, locally sourced menu of cold pressed juices, superfood smoothies, grain-free bowls, salads, sandwiches, breakfast items, hot beverages, and desserts, all produced from scratch in-house. The entire menu is formulated to be free of gluten, soy, corn, refined sugar, preservatives, and inflammatory oils, positioning the cafe for health-conscious consumers, individuals with allergies or autoimmune conditions, and customers seeking allergen-friendly or specialized-diet options. The business runs roughly 7:30am-2:30pm weekdays and 8:30am-3:00pm weekends, with a small staff of approximately five employees.

The business model is a direct-to-consumer brick-and-mortar restaurant supplemented by a small set of digital and program-based revenue streams. Pricing is unit-based across menu categories: juices at $9.50, smoothies at $11-$15.50, bowls and salads at $15-$18.50, breakfast items at $13.50-$14.50, and desserts at $4.75. Online ordering and e-gift cards are processed through the Toast Tab platform, and the cafe also sells two wellness programs — a 3-day Clean Eating Reset ($134-$149) and a 1-day or 3-day Juice Cleanse ($45-$134) — that require advance phone orders. There is no paid advertising; marketing is organic through community events, social media, and word-of-mouth.

In January 2026, Nourish was acquired by Stephens College and now operates as a non-profit organization, with proceeds directed to student scholarships and the cafe integrated into the college's experiential learning curriculum across supply chain, operations, marketing, branding, and business leadership. The company has no funding rounds, no AI technology stack, and no multi-unit footprint; the product surface is limited to one physical location, the Toast Tab digital channel, and the phone-ordered cleanse programs.
